1 133 Proceedings 18th NZ Geothermal Workshop 1996 THERMOLUMINESCENCE DATING OF IGNIMBRITES AND HYDROTHERMALLY ALTERED ROCKS IN THE TAUPO VOLCANIC ZONE I. TAKASHIMA' AND C. P. WOOD ' Mining College, Akita University, Akita, Japan Wairakei Research Centre, IGNS, Taupo, NZ SUMMARY - The central Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) of New Zealand is one of the most active areas of rhyolite volcanism and geothermal activity in the world. The absolute ages of many rhyolitic eruptives have been measured, but as yet the chronology of the geothermal systems is unknown. We report prelimhary data from a pilot study using the thermoluminescence (TL) method to date both fresh and hydrothermally altered ignimbrites in the TVZ. Six unaltered, welded ignimbrites from the ubiquitous whakamaru-group (4 from whakamaru Ignimbite and from Te Whaiti Ignimbrite) range from 97 ka to 333 ka, in agreement with published age data. The TL age of 194 ka for fresh pumice tuff from the Ohakuri Ignimbrite is consistent with its stratigraphic position. Two hydrothermally altered Ohakuri Ignimbrite samples gave 68 ka and 113 ka ages, which, as would be expected, are younger than for the fresh rock. We established a method of analyzing quartz grain size to use in the evaluation of beta ray contribution in the rock, and cosmic ray contribution in annual dose evaluation process. This pilot study of TL dating in the TVZ has been successful, and has encouraged us to undertake a comprehensive age mapping programme of both fresh and hydrothermally altered rocks in the Taupo Volcanic Zone. 1. INTRODUCTION One of the least understood aspects of geothermal activity in the Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) is the chronology of the systems. When did they come into existence and, for the very few extinct systems, how long did they last before dying? Wood (1995) summarised what little geological evidence exists, and postulated that many currently active systems were generated, or at least enhanced, by large rhyolitic magma chambers that accumulated in the upper crust during the major eruptive episodes that shaped the TVZ in the Ma period. In contrast, Bibby et al. (1995) have cast doubt on a direct association between hydrothermal systems and magma chambers, implying that TVZ geothermal systems are essentially stable over periods of 00 OOO OOO years, and are not perturbed by single intrusive events. No absolute ages have previously been obtained on samples from TVZ geothermal systems because the methods for dating such rocks are limited. Recently however, thermoluminescence ('E) dating has been successfully applied to welded tuffs and altered minerals in Japan (Takashima, 1995a; Talcashima et al., 1990), and the Philippines (Talcashima and Reyes, 1990). It was decided that the TVZ would be suitable for similar studies, particularly as it is characterised by areas of altered ground and has many ignimbrites which occur both at the d c e and in drilled geothermal fields. One of the advantages of TL dating is its easy operation. For example, the history of Unzen has been identified using more than 50 TL age data points (Talcashima and Watanabe, 1994). We plan to study the history of caldera-forming eruptions with related hydrothermal activity in the TVZ with a view to understanding the chronological development of important geothermal reservoirs. This paper deals with pre- considerations of the applicability and accuracy of the TL dating method for TVZ fields, and reports results from a pilot study Carried out in GEOLOGICAL SAMPLES It was decided to start by sampling Sufface outcrops of unaltered whakamaru-group ignimbrites, and both fresh and hydrothermally altered Ohakuri Ignimbrite. The whakamaru-group ignimbrites were chosen because they are widespread, quartz-rich rocks erupted during one of the largest episodes of rhyolite magma discharge in the history of the TVZ. They are believed to have been erupted from a large caldera complex extending between Lake Taupo and the Waikato River (Fig. 1). At least eight separate ignimbrites are included in the group, totalling - 1OOO h3, with recently determined 40Ar/39Ar ages ranging from 0.3 f0.04 My to 0.34 fo.o1 My (Houghton et al., 1995). This episode marks a hiatus in the development of the TVZ, and has been used by Wilson et az. (1995) to define an old (prewhakamaru) and young TVZ. Altered ignimbrites assigned to the --group (eg. Wairakei Ignimbrite at Wairakei, and Rangitaiki Ignimbrite at O W ) have been drilled at depth in eight geothermal fields as shown on Fig. 1. In three other fields (Reporoa, Rotorua, and Tauhara), drillholes terminated in strata hown to be younger, and --group ignimbrites are presumed to be present deeper down.

Also shown as dotted areas are those geothermal fields in which whakamaru-group ignimbrites have been penetrated in drillholes. The approximate boundaries of the whakamaru caldera (source of the whakamaru-group ignimbxites) and Maroa caldera (source of the Ohakuri Ignimbrite) are shown as heavy lines. Samples of welded, quartz-rich --group ignimbrites were collected at outcrops of the whakamaru Ignimbrite in the Waikato River valley near the western margin of the TVZ (samples la), and from the stratigraphically older Te Whaiti Ignimbrite where it laps onto Mesozoic greywackes outside the TVZ to the east (samples 6, 7). The Ohakuri Ignimbrite was chosen because it is the main rock type exposed at the Surface in the fossil Ohakuri geothermal system (Fig. 1). Here, hydrothemally altered ignimbrite can be traced laterally into fresh rock, giving an opportunity to use TL to determine apparent age variation resulting from geothermal activity. Fission track (Zircon) ages of 0.5 k0.03 My and 0.30 k0.03 My have been measured on Ohakuri Ignimbrite (Grindley et al., 1994), but recent field observations (C J N Wilson, C P Wood, unpublished data) suggest it is actually younger than the Mamaku Ignimbrite which has a %rpgar age of 0. My (Houghton et al., 1995). The source of Ohakuri Ignimbrite has been suggested as the northern Maroa Caldera (Wood, 1995). It has not been certainly identified in geothermal drillholes, except possibly in the nearby Atiamuri area (Wood, 1995). Quartz-bearing fresh Ohakuri Ignimbrite (sample 5) was collected from west of Ohakuri dam, and two altered samples (samples Al, A) came from the well-exposed fossil system at Ohakuri dam. The fresh rock is a soft, pumice lithic tuff, whereas the altered material is silicified and hard. Hemeberger (1983) has described the alteration type as essentially quartz + adularia, with minor pyrite and chlorite. 3. DATING PROCEDURE AND RESULTS TL dating is an application of dosimetry using ~tural minerals. Minerals in the field absorb radiation from surrounding radioactive materials and cosmic rays at a fixed rate (annual dose is denoted by AD) and exhibit TL due to a total dose over geologic time, known as a paleodose (PD). The AD is calculated from the chemical data of radioactive elements (U, Th, K) and

The TL age (t) is calculated by the simple equation, t = PD/AD. Figure is the schematic explanation of the TL dating method. samples which have only blue light emission. Measurements were carried out for natural and gamma ray irradiated samples. Figure 3 is an example of TL glows of natural and gamma ray irradiated samples. Based on these data, paleodose (PD) was calculated fiom the growth m e (Fig. 4). Each sample was measured three times on average, and the PD error was estimated by the deviation from theoretical me.

The experimental procedure of TL dating was described by Takashha and Honda (1988), and is briefly explained here. Quartz was the mineral used for dating because it gives reliable age data. Samples were collected fiom unweathered, uniform rock, and later dried at room temperature in the dark. Then g of the sample was crushed by a stainless steel mortar and/or ball mill, and sieved to pass 0 mesh. 90 g were then put in a plastic container for counting in a gamma ray spectrometer. A fraction of the her than 0 mesh sample was further crushed to give mesh grains. After water washing, the grains were separated into magnetic and non-magnetic portions by an isodynamic separator. The non-magnetic grains were treated with both 4% HF solution and HCl (1:l) for about 0 minutes at 50 C each. Sample weight averaged g, adjusted to give a final product of g. Aluminium sheets were used to keep the separated samples from exposure to light. The TL emission was measured using a Kyokko 500 TLD Dosimeter, with heafing rate of 00"C/min. Twenty milligrams of the sample was set in the molybdenum heater with 10 mm diameter pit. Two filter systems were used. One was an infked filter (Toshiba IRA-10) only, the other was an i-ed filter plus long wave pass filter (ESCO Products OG-550). Receiving wavelength of the former was nm and that of latter was nm. Basically, the latter filter system is used in measurement because the red colour signal is high temperature and stable (Hashimot0 et al., 1987). The former filter system is used for Temperature ('C) Fig. 3 - TL glow curves of quartz separated fiom ignimbrite.

Chemical analyses were made by gamma ray spectrometry using a 76 x 76 mm NaI scintillator crystal detector. NBS standards were used. The error of the U and Th measurements was less than lo%, and that of K was less than 3% in 4h operation. Annual dose was

Beta dose attenuation and cosmic ray contribution are important factors for collecting precise TL age data. The treatment method used in this study is discussed in a later chapter. Table 1 gives the TL age data of the samples collected for this study. The error of the TL ages is a combination of paleodose measurement and annual dose calculation. 4. DISCUSSION Many factors control the TL age data, as discussed in previous papers (Talcashima and Watanabe, 1994; Takashima, 1995b). In this paper, the beta ray contribution is considered precisely because the large quartz grain size of all samples has a large effect on the calculation of annual dose. Beta dose attenuation as a function of quartz grain size is discussed by Mejdahl (1979) Accordingly, we measured quarfz grain size for all samples using thinsections, and detexmining the average diameter of from 3 to 5 of the largest grains. The grain sizes shown in Table 1 are such data. The grain size observed in thin section often does not represent the maximum diameter of quartz in the rock. However, experience has shown that selecting a small sample of the largest grains on a thin section usually closely approximates the largest grain size present in the rock. The contribution of cosmic rays was neglected because the samples were assumed to have been buried for much of their geological history, and hence had received a very low total cosmic ray dose. The high concentrations of radiometric elements also diluted the contribution rate of cosmic rays. Evidence in support is provided by the comparison of samples 3 and 4. Both are samples of whakamaru Ignimbrite exposed within 0 m of each other, but sample 4 came from inside a tunnel where it was shielded from cosmic rays. Their TL ages are not significantly different. 5. CONCLUSIONS The TL ages for the whakamaru-group ignimbrites (Tab. 1) range fiom about 0.30 Ma to 0.33 Ma, showing excellent agreement with recently published 40ArPgAr ages (Houghton et al., 1995) in the 0.3 Ma to 0.34 Ma range. The Ohakuri Ignimbrite age of about 0.19 Ma supports recent field observations that the Unit is younger than the 0. Ma Mamaku Ignimbrite. The two samples of hydrothermally altered Ohakuri Ignimbrite both give quartz TL ages ( - 68 ka and ka) which are younger than the fresh tuff, as could be expected. As yet, the significance of the ages is hard to determine, but does suggest that hydrothermal activity occurred at Ohakuri over a period of some tens of thousands of years at that locality. The pilot study has shown that the method adopted, using quartz grain size in evaluating beta ray and gamma ray contribution to the annual dose was successful. The technique is clearly applicable to the whakamaru-group ignimbrites which are the most widespread of TVZ ignimbrites, and are ubiquitous in TVZ geothermal fields. The results fiom the Ohakuri Ignimbrite suite promise, for the first time, to yield estimates of the absolute time range of a TVZ geothermal system. Further work is planned for the year. 60 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Isao Takashima would like to thank Dr B W Robinson, Manager of Wairakei Research Centre, GNS, and Ms A G Reyes, GNS, for giving us a chance to do
